RetroforceGO! records episode 92 tonight: E3 09 photo

We're back from E3 -- those of us who got to go, anyway -- and the surprising amount of retro-flavored hotness on display this year has left us with quite a bit to talk about. So that's what we're gonna do. We'll be taking a look at what appealed to us, what got us excited, and most important of all, what we thought was stupid. Oh, there's plenty of that.

It's good to be back. Drop your questions for us in the comments and we'll get this party started.

Ok, I HATE the idea that there would be a "winner" of E3, but I won't get into it.

My question is, given the large number of gamers who, when playing the Wii, prefer to sit and use the wiimote like a controller with the minimal required motion rather than move around their living rooms like idiots, how do you think Microsoft and Sony's motion controls will fair among the hardcore gamers?

Most people I know or have heard have don't want to be forced to move around THAT much for motion control; in fact, Penny Arcade made a comic about it when the Wii came out. Will hardcore gamers accept Natal and...whatever they end up calling Sony's motion control? Will CASUAL gamers even accept the level of activity and motion involved, especially considering the projected price point of Natal?

What is your impression of Shadow Complex? Its kinda like if Castlevania SotN and Contra had a love child. Totally Epic.

Also, Shiren and a few other games got a little love from Atlus. Anybody excited for some mindless dungeon crawling and does the lack of Chocobos turn Collette off from the game.

Collette, anything more you have to say about Maramusa?

How awesome is it that Shiren the Wanderer III was announced by Atlus for North America?! No one even noticed!

It's very awesome!

These are the same people that used to make Dragon Warrior!

What is the weirdest or most notable piece of swag that you guys received at E3? Also, follow-up question: can I have it?

Was E3'09 better than E3'08? Did Nintendo catch any of you guys off guard with their Mario, Zelda, and Metroid announcements?

Also, Colette; What did you think of Alan Wake? The darkness/flashlight mechanic really gave me a silent hill vibe.

Being that FF is now in it's 14th game (quite possibly the longest running non episodic series in video game history so far), is it time for this franchise to die finally, or should we be treated to more characteristically flat, emo haired male leads? What other video game IPs have dried up and should be put down? What obscure and defunct IPs do you all think deserve to be resurected?

I really don't get why a lot of people are poo-pooing Sony's motion controller and those same people are hailing a CONCEPT video for Project Natal as awesome.

What do you think of people actually getting excited over stuff that DOESN'T EXIST yet?

PS. I see the potential in Natal but I won't believe it til I actually see it in action and that ball blocking video has been done by the eyetoy like 4 years ago.

How long until we hear the first reports of someone getting their junk caught in the Wii Vitality Sensor. Also, what do you predict the batshit insane plot twists are going to be in the Kojima produced Castlevania game? Lord knows the man loves his plot twists (i.e. Metal Gear Solid 2).

I know this was discussed a bit on podtoid, but I think I should ask it here as well. How do you feel about Konami's trend of outsourcing franchises? Castlevania: Lord of Shadows is in the hands of Mercury Steam, a spanish developer. While the project is being overseen by Kojima productions, things could head south fast. After Silent Hill: Homecoming, you'd think they'd be a bit more careful.

While I am on the topic of Castlevania, is it cool that Patrick Stewart is in it?

Also, some people say I look like the protagonist from the trailers, what do you think?

Was anyone else disappointed that Capcom's super secret unannounced game of E3 turned out to be Resident Evil PSP?

I was expecting something like Mega Man Legends 3, Darkstalkers HD Remix, or a new Strider game.

Were you hoping for more classic games to get sequels or remakes at E3? If so, which ones?

Regarding Rock Band: The Beatles.

How difficult do you think 4 part harmony will be to actually pull off by 4 regular Joe's.

Do you think average people will be able to sing AND play fake guitar?

Finally, What is the Retroforce crew's favorite Beatles songs?

Well today is my 35 birthday and as such I've been in a retro mood. As a treat, over the course of the week I started to relisten to all old RFG's from ep 0. What happened to my Retroforce Theater? Why can't we all have buckets? (I loved the bucket head talk) I miss things that are old and as such this evening when I get home from work I will DL Link to The Past and Paper Mario on VC and try and pretend I'm young again..... for my birthday could you suggest another game I absolutely have to play? (taking into account that Viddya Games didn't happen for me till about five years ago..... what was I thinking?)

Boff, Marry, Kill: Slurpee, Dolphin, Chocobo?

Also, why does everyone on Podtoid suck at video games so much, Topher? You guys were all complaining about how hard inFamous is when it's not hard at all (except in maybe one or two spots). I couldn't even wrap my head around dual analog shooters until I sat down for an entire weekend and trained about a year ago and I didn't have any problems with dying in inFamous except for that stupid bomb diffusion mission towards the end while playing on Hard. Do you guys just really suck or are you totally biased against fun games so that's why you're hating?

Welcome back guys,
Can you guys please contact 5th Cell to make sure Scribblenauts' database is not missing Chocobos, Beedogs, and Chad Concelmo.

Actually that can lead into a question, if each of you were in Scribblenauts what would you be doing to help/hinder the main character?

The Lunar 1 remake for PSP will be translated by Xseed. I liked the Sega CD and PS1 versions of Lunar, but after the GBA version, I lost enthusiasm. So what do you think?

Persona 1 remake for PSP will be in English sometime around September 09. Looking forward to it, or not?

More Professor Layton in English later this year. It's about time.

My top E3 2009 news was hearing that Glory of Heracles DS will be translated next year. Never heard of it? There were four different Glory of Heracles games for Famicom and Super Famicom, but none of them were even fan translated until a few years ago. If you like slow, level-building, Dragon Quest-like games, then consider NOT-downloading the second Famicom game.

Right during E3, I learned that blog.seiha.org is fan translating the first Galaxy Angel game for PC (which is part dating simulation, part RTS). I might actually import it soon.

What was your favorite Karaoke song sung that night.

That's all I got guys! Chad, it was a blast meeting you! I'm sad I didn't get to see anyone else - Topher come next year ;( -, but hey, I looked (I didn't see Colette one time)! Have fun recording.

I would just like it to be known that if the developers of Scribblenauts are reading/listening to this: I will pay you $100 to allow me to pit Chad Concelmo vs. a battalion of Old Ladies.
